Get some RFAs! I really want one or 2 but real estate is getting sparse :(
I found some but the colors were dull and they were overpriced. They didn’t look healthy either. I can’t wait to get 3 or 4 of them.

What’s the LFS options like in Hong Kong? And are you able to buy online?
No online buying. But we have a street with 2 blocks of just LFS. Almost are FW but there are a lot of SW ones with some nice stuff here and there. Super cheap fish. What you guys pay for fish puzzles me. :p But we have a reef club and we have some people that import directly from Indo, Australia, Malaysia, etc. So they’ll post pics and we buy direct. Super cheap.

Oh that’s cool but not cool. Interesting area. There’s a fish street. Next to it is a flower street. There’s a shoe street even. Shoppers paradise. And it’s right next to my work. Can’t complain. I usually scope out the new stuff and deals for my buddies. I’ll try to take some candid pics. Last week, they had a blue ring octopus. That was scary. Do I want it? YES! Should I? YES!

I mean if you don’t buy it, someone else will...that would be terrible, who knows what kind of sub par environment it could end up in??

at this point your only real option is to get the octopus.

Yeah. Plus the maroon has overstayed his welcome.

A small update. Had a few drinks with my reefing buddy and hit up quite a few shops. Ended up with a 3 head Duncan. Some type of zoa and a lawnmower blenny.

My RBTA split in DT a couple of months ago. It wandered around too much so put in this immature tank. Didn’t know what to expect but it’s grown twice its size.

Funny story, or not so funny. I got two. They fought and one got killed. End of story.
Get a much smaller one? That’s what I did when I introduced clown #2 and it worked perfectly, they paired up immediately.

That thing looks like something out of an Alien movie! What do you feed it?
